CROP ROTATION NECESSARY.
Farmers of the Stale Interested in Wilt
Resistant Variety of Cotton.
Columbia correspondence New and
Courier:
The farmers of Sumter and Orange
burg counties have been bothered
greatly by cotton wilt, Congressman
Lever has heen active in securing relief
for his constituents through the medium
of the Federal department of agricul
ture. The department has been ob
serving this trouble for about three
years, with the result that a wilt-resis
tant variety of cotton has been bred,
and this seems to be the remedy for the
evil. The Hagood section of Sumter
County has especially suffered, and
several years ago Congressman Lever
sent a quantity of his wilt-resistant
seed to farmers in this community with
, the most satisfactory results.
Mr. Lever has recently received thei
following letter from the department
on this subject:
United States Department of Agri
culture, Bureau of Plant Industry,
Washington, I). C, August 12, 1907.
"Hon. A. F. Lever, Peak, S. C. ? Dear
Mr. Lever: Since our letter of July the I
23rd, in regard to the outbreak of cot-j
ton disease at Hagood, Sumter County,
S. ('., specimens have been received I
from Dr. M. S. Kirk, of that place,
and I find the trouble to be the cotton
wilt. I believe you are already quite I
well acquainted with our work on this]
disease. Mr. W. A. Orton, of our
laboratory of plant pathology, has justj
returned from a trip to the South, and)
reports that the disease resistant varie
ties now being bred are showing up
very well, the percentage of resistance
being higher than ever. In fact it is a
rare exception for a plant to become]
diseased from wilt, except where the
farmer has allowed the seed to become j
mixed, or has planted them in a field
badly infected with root-knot. We
shall have more of this cotton to distri
bute next winter, and will arrange to I
supply your correspondents at that|
time.
We find it more and more necessary
to urge upon the farmers the necessity
for a rotation of crops in combination
with the use of our resistant seed. A
great many fields are affected by root
knot which is in most cases propagated
on the roots of the common cowpea.
It is, therefore, essential on wilt-infec
ted lands the use of the common cow
peas, such as speckled, black and un
known, be discontinued, and the iron
pea or the velvet bean substituted
therefor. Before planting a resistant
variety of co'ton, the land should be
put in oats, lollowed by corn or, iron
cow peas for at least two years. Yours)
truly, "A. F. Woods,
"Acting Chief of Bureau."
HAD AN AWFUL TIME
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy Cured Him.
It is with pleasure that I give you
this unsolicited testimonial. About a
year ago when I had a severe case of
measles I got caught out in a hard rain
and the measles settled in my stomach
and bowels. 1 had an awful time ami
had it not been for the use of Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy I could not have possibly lived
but a few hours longer, but thanks to
this remedy I am now strong and well.
I have written the abovo through sim
ple gratitude and I shall always speak
a good word for this remedy. - Sam.

Bnght'8 disease, in tho Diabetes stage.

The Judge Uses Forceful Language
Judge W. B. Simmons of Fincastle,
Va., told the reporter that L. & M.
Paint was used on his residence in 1882,
and held its color well for 21 years; he
furthermore said that 3 years ago he
was induced to use another paint
and is sorry he did, because the other
paint didn't make good. The Judge
will now always use Ij. &. M., because
he knows if any defect exists in L. &
M. Paint the house will be repainted
for nothing.
The L. &. M. Zinc hardens the L. &
M. White Lead and makes L. & M.
Paint wear like iron for 10 to 15 years.
Actual cost of L. & M. about* $1.20
per gallon.

self under the divine protection, which

asked to prove his sincerity. He took
them out of the box and wrapped them
about his neck, and thus adorned ex
horted his hearers.
Every sinner in the audience went
to the mourners' bench as a result of
the demonstration.
Neighbors (lot Fooled.
"I was literally coughing myself to
death, and had become too weak to
leave my bed; and neighbors predicted
that I would never leave it alive; but
they got fooled, for thanks be to God,
I was induced to try Dr. King's New
Discovery. It look just four one dollar
bottles to completely cure the cough
and restore me to good sound health,"
writes Mrs. Eva Uneaphcr, of Grovers
town, Stark Co., Ind. This King of
